Huckleberries Online

Wild Card/Thursday — 6.17.10

I'd like to welcome the newcomers to HucksOnline who were directed this way by the frantic e-mail from "idahocolt" to skew the daily poll results in favor of favorite son, Rep. Phil Hart. (I'll deal with that in a moment.) You helped HucksOnline top 11,000 page-views and reach 6,472 unique views on Wednesday. Earlier this spring, my blogmeister estimated my real audience is around 8,300 individuals. I'd guess the primary election has pushed that to around 9,000 now, or close to the real circulation (not the one they say it is) of the Coeur d'Alene Press. Hart and former Aryan Nations attorney Edgar Steele have been golden this week. Until we find another hot topic, I'll play this Wild Card ...
